Introduction[edit]
This is an impressive Mountain and canyon in the middle of Wadi Rum, with spectacular scenery and ancient Nabataean and Islamic inscriptions. it's actually a massive mountain with nice narrow canyon.
A nearby arch is a popular tourist attraction and great destination for beginners to practice simul-rap.
Approach[edit]
The hike up to the peak is non technical. you need to take off-road car with a Bedouin from the village to reach the mountain base "start point"

It's rumored to have been descended but details are unclear. "preferable to do it in 2 days; 1st day ascending to the summit, camping around there then 2nd day rappel down through the canyon +- 11 abseils, you need 2 ropes 50 m each.

The exit is a popular slot canyon full of ancient petroglyphs
